Subject: Intel E7221 Server Board SATA

I have a Server here with no working SATA drives

( Intel Server board SE7221BK1-E )

I've tried 2.6.11 and then 2.6.12-pre3

*grumble intel bleading edge products*

anyway does anyone have any clue or patches that might make this beast
tick (I'm supposed to be installing a file server on Tuesday :( )

if i get really desperate i might have to try the Redhat drivers - but
I don't really want software raid just pain SATA .....

attached is a lspci output

any other info needed ?

TIA

Boot 2.6.11ac7 on it and specify the boot option "all-generic-ide" and
it should grab the SATA device as generic IDE. That limits you to BIOS
configured speed and no other useful features but it is usually ok.
